minnesota over texas in 5 sets

Wow, this is looking like an exciting season.  Has parity taken over the top 20 teams?

What a great match for Stanford.    Sure exceeded my expectations.  Rubin is one of the ten best all around OHs in the country.  Oglivie had some unbelievable saves in covering the block.   At times Harvey goes into uncanny mode at serving.  Harvey also completely turned her game around at the net from yesterday.

I couldn't watch the end of the match.  Why wasn't Oglivie on the court?

---

She was on the court.  She received Fuerbringer's serve on the final point.

I thought the handwringing yesterday was a little overblown, but even I wasn't sure they could handle Wisconsin after the way they had played.  Amazing turn around for Ipar Kurt (though she was less effective in the last two sets).

I assume your comment about yesterday's criticism of Stanford in the Minnesota match was directed toward me since you quoted my post.  The entirety of my comments about the Minnesota match include:  I complimented Rubin.  I complimented Cawa. I complimented the middles.   The only comment I made that might be considered criticism was I asked a question about Yu's serving.

I was silent about Kurt because I'm a fan of Kurt having seen many videos of her playing in Turkey.  She is a crafty hitter in the front row.   I expected her to eventually show that.

Paloalto,
Sorry, my comment was not directed at you.
I quoted you because you made the statement about Oglivie not being on the court at the end of the match, which was not true.

I then made a separate comment which was really about the discussion on volleytalk, where there was so much doom & gloom.  
Certainly not aimed at you.
My apologies for not making that clear.
